I have a hard time accepting this as a crime. What if the illustration hand-drawn, or clothed but still sexual in character? Is caricature illegal, by this standard?

You'd better not have a particularly vivid imagination or else you'll be prosecuted for daydreaming.

Yea, this is a funny thing to think about.

You can jerk off to photos of people, you can imagine some wild things involving other people etc.

If you just create some deepfake porn to masturbate by yourself to, I don't see a big problem with that.

The only issue I can find is, that due to neglect someone else sees it, or even hears about it.

The problem starts with sharing. Like it would be sexual harassment to tell people who you are masturbating to, especially sharing with the "actors" of your fantasies.

There is however another way this could go:

Everyone can now share nudes with way less risk.

If anyone leaks them, just go: "That's a deepfake. This is obviously a targeted attack by the heathens of the internet, who are jealous of my pure and upstanding nature. For me only married missionary with lights out."

There’s a big difference between a deep fake and a caricature.

[-] CanadaPlus@futurology.today 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah, but only one of degree.

It's making an image of someone that portrays them in an unrealistic and offensive context.

So if I use AI to make pornography of 50 men gang banging you, you will consider that to be on the same level as going to a carnival and getting a characture done?

Huh, you must have replied somewhat late to this - I'm sure I checked back here for any replies before I returned to my main instance for good.

Actually, yes. If you sent it to me, that would be sexual harassment (just like if you sent me an unsolicited text description of what you want to do to me), but I don't care what you do in private.

[-] WamGams@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

So if I send it to people who aren't you... it's okay?

[-] Syntha@sh.itjust.works 0 points 7 months ago

The difference is so big, it easily becomes qualitative.

Is caricature illegal, by this standard?

No.

The official government announcement is linked in the article btw.
